Well as you may or may not know I was recently offered a position as a middle school art teacher in a location that I won't mention. Well I was hired as full time with all the benefits retirement salary all that good stuff. Then on my first day they tell me that I'm on a temporary status until the teacher returns. Turns out the regular art teacher may actually come back before the end of the year. They said I'm sorry but "we just don't know"

After thinking it over I just decided to decline the position I just can't risk leaving a house where I'm not paying rent going through all the moving expenses, signing a lease on a place to live, paying out rent all to potentially lose the job if the teacher comes back. It's just too much of a risk.

So when the store closes it's job hunting time. I have several students who have been taking art lessons from me that would like to continue so I'm going to work on that for some extra cash to begin with. Plus I have it on good authority that a local private school may have a budget next year for a full time art teacher. I would prefer that to public school anyway. Or me and Raven may move so he can work a graphic design job. We just don't know yet.

Oh well things will work out they always do.

Wow I have not been keeping up with my blog at all. It isn't that I have had stuff to add it is just that I'm always so limited on time.

Plus I have dial up at my house so I pretty much only have access to the internet from the store.

And speaking of the store we are in fact going to close the store in January. We were counting on some really great rent from another location but to be honest the owners of the building kinda screwed us over and gave the spot that was promised us to a real esate agent, and we just can't keep paying 1,000 a month for this tiny spot.

It's really just a matter of bad timing we did pretty good the first year then the bottom fell out of the economy and Lewisburg lost a ton of foot traffic thanks to gas prices, trouble at the Greenbrier, and Bush is a moron who has sent our country into a downward spiral from with there is no escape.

So in the mean time I'm trying to find a job. I went for an interview at a middle school in Oak Hill that was a week ago and I haven't heard anything yet but I don't think they have had a board meeting yet so I'm still hopeful. Other than that I may try to get some sub work if I can get on the list. I did hear that there are some full time art jobs available in the county for teachers who are needing to take a lot of sick days so I got that goin for me.
